He was asked if he meet the owner and he said "yes...I think..."
Then he was asked when, and then the web of lies started to unravel.
Also the answer to the length of his contract was interesting, to say the least.
I watched the recording few times, and based on his reactions and facial expression I believe:
1) Mancini did not know shit about City or who the owner is, and whom he meet except Crook.
2) He tried to play a line in between the truth and the "official line" from Crook, by pretending his hesitations are caused by his inability to articulate clearly his toughs in English Language. By doing so to the press and to the fans watching I call him bad layer, but a layer none the less.
3)Is clear that he got 6 months probation contract with the option to extend it if the results are right, in the summer.
I perceive him having little understanding on what makes this team work or not, he seems to walk on a short leash, and the shoes salesman is the one holding the other end.
I believe the moral of the team is low and the only ppl who will try very hard now will be Robinho and Ade. The fact we are close to the semis with ManUre, make me very worried.
